1
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: The franchise tag deadline is less than twenty four hours away,

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: So who's standput and who will at least get a

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: chance to be on the move. We will tell you

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: the latest on the big name players in that conversation.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: The Eagles have a whole lot of pending free agents

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: from their Super Bowl winning roster, and now they're adding

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: a six time Pro Bowl selection to that list. We

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: will discuss the challenges that lie ahead for the defending champs.

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, the combine is in the books, but the

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: pre draft process is just getting warmed up. Brian Baldeer

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: will be here to tell you whose stock is on

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the rise. Ours is always up. Welcome inside with the

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: insiders alongside Judy Battista and Mike Garofalo. I am Tom

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: pelliserro We are just one week out from the free

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: agent negotiating window in the NFL. We were only was

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: it twenty one hours away from the franchise tag deadline?

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: The opportunity for teams to keep their guys off the

18
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: market forty and slip right there, I said Tea because

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: guess what he got tagged again second consecutive year. The

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Bengals announcing earlier today their standout wide receiver T Higgins

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: will receive the franchise tag this year. It is for

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty percent of his salary from a

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: year ago, worth around twenty six million dollars now. The team,

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: in a statement said that they are applying the tag

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: with the intent of continuing to work toward a long

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: term deal in Cincinnati. T Higgins himself broke the news

27
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: that the expected tag was indeed official, putting this out tag.

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: If every player did something like that, our jobs would

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: be a whole lot simpler. Judy for the Bengals. You

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: knew that they wanted to keep T Higgins in Cincinnati.

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: How do we get here and out of things play

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: out now with about four and a half months to

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: potentially work out that long term contract.

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: Well, don't forget last week at the combine, Zach Taylor

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: told us they want to keep everybody right. They want

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: everybody in house, Trey Hendrickson, Jamar Chase, and T Higgins.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: And one of the things that everybody around the combine

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: was saying is how.

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Are they going to do all of that? Well, this

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: is one of the ways they're going to do all

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: of that.

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: They're going to buy themselves some time with T Higgins

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: by tagging him and then hoping that they can get

44
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: something done. This buys them time until July or so

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: to get a deal done with him, and we'll see

46
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: if they can do it. Certainly, this is something that

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: they had hoped they could have gotten done before they

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: had to use the tag.

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes. Yeah, and this was a number.

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: Twenty six is a number that the Bengals previously weren't

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: willing to get to for T Higgins, So they may

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: have underestimated a his market, the increases in the salary cap,

53
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: and so now they got to play at this number.

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: And when I say play, I mean if they're going

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: to start to have negotiations on a long term deal,

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: now it's up at twenty six. So look, the price

57
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: went up for Jamar Chase when they didn't get this

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: deal done last year, and the price went up for

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: T Higgins when they haven't been able to get the

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: deal done previously. So this is why it pays sometimes

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: to be aggressive and get ahead of it. But the

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: Bengals are currently in the situation that they're in right now,

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: knowing that their quarterback would have been extremely upset if

64
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: one or both of these targets had departed. So this

65
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: is the game that they have to play at this

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 3: point to see if they can get something done. It's

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: going to require a lot of gymnastics, salary cap and

68
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: cash flow gymnastics to get this done for both players.

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: But they're confident that they can be able to do that.

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: At the very least, They've got t Higgins under contract

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: while they work on Jamar Chase's long term deal.

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Assistant GM Joe Burrow has made absolutely clear what quarterback

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow like to happen here in this offseason on Diegas.

74
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: They put want Jamar Chase to get that long term deal.

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Also wants to pay Trey Hendrickson. Those are three guys

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Committee oh somewhere in the neighborhood of

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: ninety to one hundred million dollars in annual cap space

78
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: to wrap all of them up, certainly some moving parts

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: for the Bengals as they sort things out. I Meanwhile

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: in Minnesota they also have a lot of moving parts.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: You know, their whole secondary is up. They're trying to

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: resign their running back, and they've also got decisions to

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: make at the most important position. Sam Donald, the very

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: rare twenty seven year old Pro Bowl quarterback coming off

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: his best season, who now, because he was on a

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: one year deal, is set to hit the market if

87
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: they can't work out a new deal or potentially tag

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: him prior to next week. Now, I would say, just

89
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: based upon knowing how things are operating in the quarterback

90
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: market right now, it doesn't seem likely that Sam Donald

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: would be tagged here. But that's not an indication that

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings will not want to bring him back, though certainly, Mike.

93
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of differ implications, not just so if

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you pay a quarterback like Donald, how do you put

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: a championship caliber roster around him, but also what that

96
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: means for JJ McCarthy, who missed all last season with

97
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: a knee injury but still is a top ten pick

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback just a year ago.

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on the franchise tag forty point

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: two million. If they apply that to Sam Donald, I

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: don't think that's going to happen at this point. We

102
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: could see perhaps a change over the next day, but

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm not anticipating that at this point. But I am

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: anticipating more talks as we get closer to that deadline

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: tomorrow and certainly as we get closer to the startup

106
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: free agency, if it's not done by that point on

107
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: a you know, short, two long term deal for Sam Darnald,

108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: not not the kind of big five year deal that

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: we usually see for franchise quarterbacks, like nobody's expecting that.

110
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Is it a one year deal? Is it maybe some

111
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: guarantees into the second year. We shall see if and

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: when they get to that point. But you know, when

113
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: you bring up how do you build around them? This

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: was the point at which the Vikings in their mind,

115
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: when they drafted JJ McCarthy, thought, Okay, now we're going

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: to benefit from having a quarterback on a rookie deal.

117
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: Problem is, he missed his entire rookie season, so to

118
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: turn it over to him at this point would be

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: a leap of faith. Yes, you would reap the benefits

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 3: of having him on a much cheaper deal than you

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: would for a veteran, especially or even if it's Sam Donald,

122
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: excuse me, who did prove it in a proven year

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: that he deserves a much bigger payday than he had

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: last year. So it's an interesting situation at the Vikings

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: heer in. Let's see how they handle it over the

126
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: next twenty four hours to the next week potentially, if

127
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 3: we get to that point and Sam Donald remains under

128
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: or not under contract.

129
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me. They also have Daniel Jones there.

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: As well as well as a free agent options, so

131
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: they have a few cards that they can play here.

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: But I know that they were pleased with what Donald

133
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: did last year, Judy up until those last couple of games.

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: A few other things that are interesting about this. First

135
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: of all, how much did those last two games affect

136
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Sam Donald's value?

137
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Right?

138
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: The last two games were substantially different from what the

139
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: rest of the season looked like for him. He looked

140
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: like he was on his way to a spectacular season

141
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 2: and then it crashed at the end. Will be interesting

142
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: to see how much value that may have taken out

143
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: of the contract. The second part is, again, if they

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: don't get something done with the Vikings, what will his

145
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: market be as a free agent if he becomes a

146
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: free agent, Because certainly there are lots of teams that

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: need quarterbacks.

148
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: It's not a draft that is perceived as rich in.

149
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: Top level quarterback talent, and it's not a great free

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: agent market, right now for quarterbacks, especially with Matthew Stafford

151
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: off the market too, So it would be really interesting

152
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: to see how many teams would make a run at

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: Sam Donolds if he hits the open market. And again

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: if the Vikings want to bring him back, what does

155
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: that tell us about JJ McCarthy, What do they say

156
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: that we should be thinking about JJ McCarthy going forward?

157
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: And everything I've been told is that JJ McCarthy from

158
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: a physical standpoint, a health standpoint, is on track right now,

159
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: should be cleared in time to be out there for

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: OTAs in May. Will that be as QB one one?

161
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Will that be his QB two? Still some questions to

162
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: be answered here. So right now we've got Tiggins tagged

163
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: about twenty six million dollars for twenty twenty five. Tray

164
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Smith of the Chiefs also has been tagged that number

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: around twenty one million dollars for twenty twenty five. Again,

166
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: when you tag a guy, that gives you until July

167
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: fifteenth to work out a long term deal. Otherwise the

168
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: player can choose whether or not to play on that

169
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: one year tender. Are we going to get anybody else

170
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: prior Tomorrow's four pm Eastern time deadline, mic I would keep.

171
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: An eye on a Cowboys defensive lineman Osa Odiggy Zua,

172
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: not real eye popping stats from a sack standpoint, saying

173
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: you may look at this and say, well, let me

174
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: go to the stat column. Now, this guy does a

175
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 3: lot more than that, certainly, and is a reliable guy.

176
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: Played in a sixty seven out of a possible sixty

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: eight games so far in his four year career. The

178
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: Cowboys have been trying to get a deal done with him,

179
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 3: so perhaps it could still be a long term deal

180
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: instead of the tag. We're going to be watching that

181
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: as we get closer to that deadline tomorrow, whether they

182
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: apply the tag or able to complet that long term deal.

183
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: But that is definitely a guy that we're keeping an

184
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: eye on. Next to Milton Williams of the Eagles, Judy,

185
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: this is the guy that we're expecting to get a

186
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: huge payday in free agency if he gets there.

187
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: But I know the Cowboys are going to try to

188
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: stop that from.

189
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: Happening, all right, So if that tag happens, that would

190
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: bring us to three for this cycle, which is many

191
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: fewer than we have had in recent years, but maybe

192
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: three more than we thought there were going to be

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: this year. We came into the franchise tag window thinking

194
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: there might not be any. So if we get three,

195
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: or even if we settle it too, that's more than

196
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: we expected and also tells you an awful lot again

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: about what the market looks like. It's just an underwhelming

198
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: group of free agents right now, so very few that

199
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: teams are willing to make that one year commitment to

200
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: the big franchise tag number.

201
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: In recent history, this has also been the week before

202
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: free agency, a big week for trades. We got that

203
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: ball rolling on Saturday. When is our buddy Ian Rappord,

204
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: who couldn't be bothered to show up tonight after his

205
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: long week in Indianapolis. First reported Deebo Samuel on the

206
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: move to the Commanders and chased for a fifth round

207
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: pick debo earlier today, got on social media, answered some

208
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: questions about things like how much he was waited at

209
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: various points last year. Also said forty nine ers nowhere.

210
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: I stand with them and it is nothing but love, love,

211
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: John Lynch, Kyle Shannan to death, no bad blood, no way,

212
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: shape or form. So Bret Ferdy is going to need

213
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: another wide receiver? Could he need a couple, Mike, could

214
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk also be on the move?

215
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: Ah, Brandon Ayuk and a trade. Here we are once

216
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: again second verse, same as the first. We talked plenty

217
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: about this last off season before he signed that big

218
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: deal and got paid twenty four million in year one.

219
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: He's got more money coming his way here too.

220
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: A lot of times you'll see a dip in year two,

221
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: a lot of money up front, but in this case

222
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: it kind of stays flat, and in fact it's seven

223
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: hundred thousand, seven hundred and fifty thousand more the second

224
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: year for Ayuk.

225
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Now, when Ian.

226
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 3: Talked about this at the Combine and time we talked

227
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 3: about it privately about the possibility of Auk being traded.

228
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: In the rumblings at the Combine, Ian mentioned that it

229
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 3: was Ayuk and Deebo that were potentially going to be moved.

230
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: The problem is when.

231
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: Diebo got moved, he got moved to the place where

232
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: if a team's going to take a leap of faith,

233
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: it's Adam Peters who was in San Francisco and certainly

234
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: was one of the teams that we talked about last

235
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: year as being a potential destination for Ayuk if he

236
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: got traded. Now all of a sudden, Deebo goes well

237
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: that takes the Commanders out of it, plus and we're

238
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: showing it over and over.

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Brandon, I hope you're not watching.

240
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: Sorry, he's got this ACL injury that he's coming off

241
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: of and likely isn't going to be ready week one,

242
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: and who knows how close he can get to one

243
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: hundred percent by the end of the season as well.

244
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: So this is a tough one now, and it's become

245
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: doubly tough Judy because of Deebo Samuel going to Washington

246
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: and basically blocking that path for Brandon.

247
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: I you, well, I think John Lynch used the word

248
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: reset last week at the Combine when he was talking

249
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: about all of these moves and potential moves, and that's

250
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: sort of where this team is now, right The brock

251
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: Party contract is coming.

252
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: It's going to be a big one.

253
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: They've got to get financially in order to make that feasible.

254
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: So they're sort of shifting away from what was one

255
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: championship window and they got ever so close to a

256
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: championship too what they hope will be another championship window,

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: and you're starting to see that shift take place deebo

258
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: is obviously already gone. MAYBEU goes too. Now they still

259
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: have Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and you know, and

260
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: obviously on defense, Nick Mosa is still there. But just

261
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: keep in mind Juwan Jennings was the leading receiver of

262
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: this team last year, which sort of goes under the

263
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: radar a little bit because of the big names ahead

264
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: of him. So this team is in something of a transition.

265
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: Obviously this year they took a little bit of a

266
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: dip in the standings, but for a team that very

267
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: much had a Super Bowl window there for a long time,

268
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: won an awful lot of games. They are now starting

269
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: to change and this team is going to look different

270
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: as brock Perty really becomes the man around which it

271
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: is all built.

272
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: T Higgins would have been the top free agent wide

273
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: receiver in this group. Obviously, now with him off the

274
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: board because of the franchise, Tay, maybe some team has

275
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: given further interest to we might have to trade for

276
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: a guy. Obviously one down already with Debo, Another one

277
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: from La Cooper Cup is also available. Sel McVay not

278
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: slamming the door on the possibility today the Cup if

279
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: all else fails could be back in LA how unlikely

280
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: that might be, but they already shut the door on

281
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford going any place else. As the Rams announced

282
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: on Friday, Stafford and the team have agreed to terms

283
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: on a restructured contract. Full details not yet in. Stafford

284
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: has not signed that agreement. No real rush at this point,

285
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: but it's expected to pay him around the same as

286
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: he made last year, which was forty million dollars. This

287
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: was all certainly a relief to his head coach.

288
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: I think he could play for a few more years

289
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: if that's what he wanted. But we've always had great dialogue,

290
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: and I think it's really kind of been a year

291
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: to year thing. He's obviously under contract for two more

292
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: years with us, but as long as he wants to play,

293
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: I know we're feeling really good about that. And I

294
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 4: think ultimately it's about the partnership and how important it is,

295
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: you know, to have him leading the way, and so

296
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: couldn't be more grateful, really excited about it, and been

297
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: sleeping better these last couple of days.

298
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Did I mentioned there could be more receiver trades the

299
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: gents are willing to see at least, Hey, somebody want

300
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams for that gigantic number he's due. It's a

301
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: dumby year that's expected to pay him if he were

302
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: on the books for upwards of thirty million dollars, not guaranteed,

303
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: though expected to be released if they somehow can't trade him.

304
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Mike DeVante Adams showed at least since firsts last year,

305
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: there's something left in the tank here. The issue really

306
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: is he'd have to adjust his contract to facilitate any trade,

307
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: and also until he knows where Aaron Rodgers is going

308
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: to be, Devanta Adams might not know where he wants

309
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: to be either.

310
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: Great second point there, So yeah, you're asking DeVante Adams

311
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: to make that call ahead of time, almost like Alan

312
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: Lazard made the call two years ago before Aaron Rodgers

313
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: wound up with the Jets and at one point was

314
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: calling Rodgers like, dude, is this gonna happen or not?

315
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: I sort of signed here expecting you to be here.

316
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: Devonte Adams doesn't have to do that. It's thirty six million,

317
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand if he makes the pro

318
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: bowl to be exact, and it's to adjust the contract

319
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: at this point to facilitate a t There's no reason

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: to do that. Like, dude, you're gonna be free agent

321
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: in a week if you just let it play out

322
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: and you can just adjust a new contract with any

323
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: team you so choose. So yeah, we are expecting Devonte

324
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: Adams to be released and to head elsewhere in twenty

325
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: twenty five, which means the Jets really didn't have to

326
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: make that trade.

327
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: Now today I mentioned we could have trades, trades, and

328
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: more trades for the next ten days. Those teams you

329
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: don't get those guys, well, guess what there are may

330
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: be some players that can help you in the draft.

331
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: Nobody better than our guy Boldy to break down who

332
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: helped themselves at the twenty twenty five Scouty Combine in Indianapolis.

333
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Boldy with us next on the Insiders led Zerline just

334
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: released his first post combine mock drafts. He's got the

335
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Titans taking the Abdul Carter first overall, but the heis

336
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: and winner Travis Hunter going to Cleveland at number two.

337
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: Before we get to those quarterbacks. Full mock draft up

338
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: now at NFL dot com. Know your eyes don't deceive

339
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: you know Shador Sanders in there right there, but he

340
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: is in the first round it's a much of a

341
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: tease as you can get for more now on some

342
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: other prospects who could be flying up the draft boards

343
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: after the combine. Let's check in with Chris Rose and

344
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: Charles Davis.

345
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: And Indy.

346
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: Charles Davis and other combine in the books.

347
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 6: By the way, the fastest combine combined forties, our average

348
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 6: forty four to six seven common.

349
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's getting crazy.

350
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 7: These kids are training at a younger age and it's

351
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: more consistent in what they're doing and it's better training.

352
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 6: Wow, let's focus on the quarterbacks. Sure didn't throw, cam

353
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: Ward didn't throw? Which guy that did throw? May have

354
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 6: become that third quarterback this year.

355
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 7: He came in being talked about being the third quarterback

356
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 7: for me. It's Jackson Dart out of Old miss. I

357
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 7: thought he had a nice week throwing the football and

358
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 7: meaning session here when it was time to get on

359
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 7: the field and throw it. Just as you see on tape,

360
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 7: very smooth in everything he's doing. The footwork keeps him

361
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 7: balanced and on point. Excellent delivery, good anticipation, and he's

362
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 7: got plenty of arm.

363
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about that. Look, I'm dropping

364
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: it in the bucket. Right there.

365
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 7: But look how controlled he is back here setting up Boom,

366
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 7: sees his target points and hits it. I thought Tyler

367
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 7: shucked through the ball really really well coming out of Louisville.

368
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: And last but not least, Quinn.

369
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 7: Viewers don't overlook him fully healthy again, had a really

370
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 7: nice throwing.

371
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 6: We like Tyler Shuck because he's closer to our age

372
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 6: than some guy throwing.

373
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: Men's got four college degrees, yeah, seven years in school.

374
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: Just wear college across the sweatshirt.

375
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: That's cool.

376
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: Knowledge is good.

377
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 6: Fastest running backs class ever four four to eight on average,

378
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 6: Ashton genty was not down there on the field doing

379
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 6: his thing.

380
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Lord caught your eye. He didn't need to be. But

381
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: who caught your eye? That was busy?

382
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 7: How about how about someone we have talked about Nissell,

383
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 7: Maria and Hampton out of the University of North Carolina

384
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: because he went to work all right, big strong physical

385
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 7: back ran the four four seven to get going and

386
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 7: then comes back and lowers it too.

387
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Four four six right there.

388
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 7: But watch the cutting, watch the vision carrying the football

389
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 7: right here. Look at the feet going through the bags.

390
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 7: That's the duce Daley drill. Sees where the bags are

391
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 7: that means the hole is open to the opposite side.

392
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 7: But this guy caught everybody's eye. He was awesome, right

393
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 7: facial Tuton because he's a North Carolina A and T

394
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 7: transfer to Virginia Tech and he ends up running the

395
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 7: fastest forty out of all the running backs. So you

396
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 7: knew about him coming in. You've watched tape. But after

397
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 7: watching this, you know what you're going to do. Go

398
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 7: back and watch more tape and see what you may

399
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 7: have missed along the way.

400
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: He's got people's attention right now.

401
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 6: What about defensively outstanding defensive tackle claims and edge class

402
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 6: led by one of the guys that you watch down

403
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 6: there in Knoxville.

404
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he really good.

405
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 7: Created some great glory for us on Rocky Top mess

406
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 7: James Pierce because when he decides to rush to pass

407
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 7: or you better bring a couple of people out there

408
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 7: to keep him away from your quarterback.

409
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: And he came out here and we knew he was athletic.

410
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 7: But he runs four four seven into forty and look

411
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 7: at all the movement skills that he's exhibiting here.

412
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: I said it during the week.

413
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 7: Yes, people can say there's bias, you name it, but

414
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 7: I dare you to turn this on and not say

415
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 7: this is a training tape. Every drill he went through

416
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 7: was fantastic, and then we stayed in the SEC and

417
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 7: we moved to the cornerback position.

418
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: Maxwell Harriston got.

419
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 7: Lost along the way because he had a bad shoulder

420
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 7: and miss games this year for the Big Blue. Well,

421
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 7: guess what he has announced his presence again with authority

422
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 7: because he ends up running four two eight and shows

423
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 7: exactly what we've been missing during the season. A guy

424
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 7: who can run, cover, jump, you name it, he can

425
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 7: do it. Maxwell Harriston, Mad Max is back.

426
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: As we say goodbye, one of our MVPs gets a

427
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 6: special shout out this week. Only caught sixteen pass in

428
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 6: his career as a tight end at Tuscaloosa. Robbie Youtz.

429
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 6: We always talk about guys that can play in any era.

430
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 6: That mustache can play in any era.

431
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 7: He should have been playing baseball with Avenue doublet. I mean,

432
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 7: look at that mustache and he'll block the heck out

433
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 7: of you.

434
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Back to you. Somewhere, there's a photo of Baldi with

435
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: the exact same look. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pelacio,

436
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: Giudi Batista and their buddy Brian Baldi or you just

437
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: started what Charles Davis had to say. They're Baldi in

438
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: your mind after watching the combine, I know you're always

439
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: grinding the table. One of the deepest musicians in this draft.

440
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean running back in defensive line are the

441
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 8: two deepest position groups in this whole draft. And it

442
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 8: was on display this past weekend. And when you look

443
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 8: at the running backs. We just mentioned Ashton genty along

444
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 8: with Amari and Hampton, but I mean.

445
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 5: You can't overlook some of these backs.

446
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 8: I counted thirteen running backs that ran in the four

447
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 8: fours or better, and one of those was Trevion Henderson

448
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 8: from Ohio State. And the thing that's interesting about Trayvon

449
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 8: when you watched him, I mean, yeah, he's going.

450
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 5: To break this and bust his four four to three forty.

451
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 8: I mean he is an explosive, really tightly wound athlete.

452
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: He's a good pass protector.

453
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 8: You saw him in Texas in the playoff game taking

454
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 8: that screen pass right before the half for seventy five yards.

455
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 5: He finished that.

456
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 8: The thing that's interesting to me, Tom is you know

457
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 8: he only had one hundred and forty four touches this

458
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 8: year and average over seven yards you carry. He split

459
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 8: the time with Quinn Shawn Judkins, so like he's not

460
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 8: a lot of wear and tear, even though he's been

461
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 8: in the program for four full years. And the other

462
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 8: guy that I would say you got to take a

463
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 8: look at is Ali Gordon from Oklahoma State.

464
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: Now, he's two hundred and twenty six pounds. He's a

465
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: factor back.

466
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 8: Two years ago twenty twenty three, when the Cowboys had

467
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 8: a real quarterback, he ran for over seventeen hundred yards.

468
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: I mean, he was unbelievable.

469
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 8: He went backwards some this year because they just really

470
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 8: stacked a box on him. But this is the guy's

471
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 8: to twenty six. He ran a four to six. I

472
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 8: think probably can run a little bit faster, but I

473
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 8: mean the measurables are all there.

474
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 5: The feet, the footwork, it's all there.

475
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 8: I think if you want the big back, and I

476
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 8: don't know who does it, If you want that big back,

477
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 8: Olly Gordon might be a guy that you can find,

478
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 8: you know, not in the first round, but later on

479
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 8: because there's such great depth at this running back position.

480
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: Really interested to see if the renaissance of the running

481
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: back that we saw in twenty twenty four with Saquon.

482
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry and the rest.

483
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: If that impacts how the draft goes for running backs.

484
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: All right, Baldy, you mentioned d line also really deep.

485
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: Who are some of your favorites there?

486
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: Well, Thursday was just.

487
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 8: All kinds of riches out there on the field running around.

488
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 8: But you can't look at Kenneth Grant, at Mischigan. Mason

489
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 8: Graham gets all the attention, and he's a good player.

490
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 8: But I like big people. I like big guys to

491
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 8: stop the run, that get after your quarterback. They're menacing.

492
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 8: Kenneth Grant is three hundred and forty pounds. He didn't

493
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 8: run at forty. I don't know that he needs to.

494
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 8: I mean his tape is outstanding. This game against USC,

495
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 8: I mean, oh, it is one quick escape after another.

496
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 8: But he is a menace inside and if you want

497
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 8: to build your defensive front, he's a guy that's not

498
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 8: getting out of the first round, maybe not out of

499
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 8: the first twenty picks.

500
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 5: He's going to be a factor.

501
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 8: And then last year Toledo produced Quinnon Mitchell and he

502
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 8: was the best corner in the draft and he came

503
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 8: out of Toledo.

504
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 5: This year they've got Darius Alexander.

505
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 8: I saw him, went to Senior Bowl, and everybody who's

506
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 8: raving about him, he ran. He ran a four to

507
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 8: nine right here at three hundred and five pounds. His

508
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: measurables are off the chart. But when you watch him

509
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 8: and you watch him play, I mean you talk about

510
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 8: violent hands. When you watched him, say against Mississippi State,

511
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 8: where he's playing up in competition, he looks like inn

512
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 8: SEC defensive lineman.

513
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 5: He's stout at the point he chases everything down. He's

514
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 5: got an arrayed pass rush moves.

515
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 8: Darius Alexander is a guy that a lot of people

516
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 8: are going to be talking about over the next seven weeks.

517
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Baldi, thank you very muchly for to talk with you

518
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: a lot more throughout the pre draft process. The Bengals

519
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: made it official today, placing the franchise tag on t

520
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Higgins for a second consecutive season. That means Higgins gets

521
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a one year tender for about twenty six point two

522
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: million dollars, Bengals saying in their statement they applied the

523
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: tag with hopes of working out a long term extension

524
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: prior to the July fifteenth deadline. Clear a little bit

525
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: more space. The Bengals also released their veteran offensive lineman

526
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: Alex Kappo was doing eight million dollars this season, so

527
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: an eight million dollar cash and cap savings. They try

528
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: to get navigate the situation, not just with Tea, but

529
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and Trey Hendrickson as well. I Meanwhile, the

530
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Eagles also cutt into some things down to size. That

531
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: includes releasing their six time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay,

532
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: a move that is not yet official. The most likely

533
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: wait until after the new league year begins next Wednesday,

534
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: March twelfth, that allow them to spread the cap hit

535
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: over a couple of seasons. But another really important piece

536
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: of that Eagles team that barring a new deal after

537
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: Slavecy's the free agent market. We'll have them replacing one

538
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: of their key starters. We talked about replacing starters. Here's

539
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: the top ten remaining free agents on the board, according

540
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: to are Greg Rosenthal and count them up, one, two,

541
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: three Eagles logos on that screen. In fact, if you

542
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: took Milton Williams, Zach Bond, and Josh went off the

543
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: Eagles in Super Bowl fifty nine, Chiefs might have had

544
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: a chance. We'll welcome you back here to the insiders

545
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Tom Pilicero and Mike Garofolo and Judy Bautista, Mike, Howie Roseman,

546
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: there's nobody better in terms of how these pieces fit together,

547
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: getting creative at times, turning negative assets into positive assets.

548
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: We look at it. They got a lot of guys

549
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: here who are sent to hit the market next week.

550
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: What are the priorities and how do they go through this?

551
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Milton Williams and Josh went likely headed elsewhere. And

552
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 3: Milton Williams was a guy at a position where they

553
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 3: have spent a number of draft resources. Jalen Carter who's

554
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: going to get just an enormous contract at some point,

555
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: Jordan Davis as well in the first round, and then

556
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: Milton Williams in the third round. And he's played well.

557
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 3: But it's like, I mean, how many guys can you pay?

558
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 3: And you're paying so many on the offensive line, not

559
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: to mention your skill position guys in your quarterback on

560
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: the offensive side of the ball as well. So Milton

561
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: Williams is going to get paid big time by another team.

562
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 3: He's gonna go on, He's going to play well for them.

563
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: But there's only so much that Howie Roseen, we gonna

564
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: do and probably we'll replace him in the draft. So

565
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 3: Josh Schwett as well, a guy that they have paid

566
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 3: once already. Now he's up with a chance to be

567
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: a free agent again. Was probably the Super Bowl MVP,

568
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 3: at least I thought he was, and certainly has had

569
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 3: an impact.

570
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: But again, you just can't pay anybody.

571
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: So these two look like they're going now today you

572
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: moved to Zach Bond number three on Rosenthal's list there

573
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: the linebacker, and Roseman said it himself last week. You

574
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 3: know enough about positions that we don't pay. We said

575
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: the same thing about running back last year, and then

576
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: they signed Saquon Barkley.

577
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, ordinarily they don't. But in Vic Fangio's defense, Zach

578
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: Bond means a lot.

579
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 3: He's also shown the ability to rush the passer, He's

580
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: played special teams. This guy's got a lot of value.

581
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: I'm projecting him over ten million dollars per year. The

582
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: Eagles want to make this a priority to see if

583
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 3: they can get it done to bring Zach Bond back.

584
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: I also say Mikai Becton, the guard who finally hit

585
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: and is showing that he has playing up to his potential.

586
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: He'll get some nice money in the free agent market

587
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: potentially could be returning to the Eagles as well.

588
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: I would call this rich people problems. When you have

589
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: this many quality free agents that they are at the

590
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: top of the available free agent list, that's a.

591
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Really good problem to have.

592
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: It also explains why they won the Super Bowl, and

593
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: it also means everybody needs to take a deep breath

594
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: because the reason that they can get rid of Sleigh

595
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 2: is because Cooper, dejen and Quinn and Mitchell developed so quickly.

596
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: And as you pointed out, they've got other defensive linemen

597
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: in the pipeline who are going to get big contracts,

598
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: who are ready to be up there and get the

599
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: big contracts. You didn't know at this point last year

600
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: that Zach Bone was going to be a first team

601
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: All Pro. You certainly didn't know that Mackai Becton was

602
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: suddenly going to be an offensive line stallwart. Everybody take

603
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: a deep breath. They will do what they can to

604
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: bring back some of the guys. Certainly, they are not

605
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: going to be able to bring back everybody. How we

606
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: said that himself last week. It'll be fine. They are

607
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: very good at finding talent.

608
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: A lot of things can change one year after you're

609
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Dissess those forty nine ers. It's

610
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: that gets that COT's go.

611
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 9: What's up?

612
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 5: Stay, go, go.

613
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: Go, keep running deep ball down the middle, wide open,

614
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: Devo Samuel.

615
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 5: I still allowed.

616
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: You have to toss out and I saw your as mercial.

617
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: You're an actor. Yeah, what what's up?

618
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: Rocked back both middle.

619
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 5: Whah bull George went up and caught the ball.

620
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Touchdown us fun.

621
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 8: Kiddle get the corner baby.

622
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: Hello, Well, things are going to be a little bit

623
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: different in twenty twenty five around the San Francisco forty

624
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: nine Ers. Omar Ruiz back from the combine to discuss

625
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: it with us Omardibo Samuel is already gone in a trade.

626
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: It's possible Brandon Ayuk follows him out the door. What

627
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: else do we expect from this offseason in San Francisco, Hey.

628
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Judy Well.

629
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 10: Speaking of John Lynch at the combine, he was specifically

630
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 10: asked about those Brandon Ayuk rumors of being on the

631
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 10: trade block, and he didn't say yes or no, one

632
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 10: way or the other. What he did say was we

633
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 10: need to get younger as a football team. Mcnowl ing

634
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 10: that the forty nine ers have had one of the

635
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 10: older rosters in the NFL the last few seasons. Obviously

636
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 10: a talented veteran group have won so many games, but

637
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 10: he also mentioned them having developmental prospects, impact player prospects

638
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 10: as they look to build the team around Rock Prudy

639
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 10: and the huge blockbuster contract I think we're all expecting

640
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 10: from him as they look to pay their quarterback. And

641
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 10: I asked Lynch specifically, does this change, speaking of the

642
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 10: Rock pretty contract situation, how they go about their draft philosophy,

643
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 10: and he said, it's part of the equation.

644
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 11: Now.

645
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 10: They're not changing their approach, but yeah, when you look

646
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 10: at paying a quarterback and all the salary cap implications

647
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 10: that that has that when you look for the draft,

648
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 10: they do want to look at impact players and again,

649
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 10: not changing their approach, but it is something that they acknowledge.

650
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 10: While we do talk about Deebo, Samuel out the door,

651
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 10: Brandon Ayuk possibly being moved. John Lynch also said at

652
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 10: the combine that Trent Williams is coming back for sure.

653
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 10: They're looking forward to having him, Christian McCaffer coming back healthy,

654
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 10: and he said they want George Kittle to retire a

655
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 10: forty nine or so. While some things may change around

656
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 10: Brock pretty some things.

657
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: Will very much stay the same, Judy.

658
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: That'll smooth out some of the bumps getting rid of

659
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: some of those weapons for Brock.

660
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Purty. All right, let's look at.

661
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, because it's already been an offseason of a

662
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: lot of change for the Raiders. New head coach, new

663
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: general manager, new whatever title we're going to give Tom.

664
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Brady football guru? Maybe what do we think that next

665
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: are going to look like in Las Vegas? Czar, that's

666
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: a good one.

667
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 10: It's another offseason of change for the Raiders. And Pete

668
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 10: Carroll and Johns spy Tech. What an interesting pairing they are.

669
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 10: Pete Carroll became a head coach thirty one years ago

670
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 10: and now the oldest head coach in NFL history, and

671
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 10: Spy Tech a first time general manager. But what they

672
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 10: both talked about having in common is their belief that

673
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 10: a football team should be built around a strong defense

674
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 10: and a strong running game. Not just because those are

675
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 10: important attributes to have for a strong football team, but

676
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 10: they are tools for a quarterback and to help a quarterback,

677
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 10: both veteran and young quarterback and Pete Carroll mentioned a

678
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 10: couple different times since he's been the head coach of

679
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 10: the Raiders that Bill Walsh told him that those tools

680
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 10: help a quarterback because quarterback is the hardest position in sports,

681
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 10: according to Bill Walsh as he relayed the story, and

682
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 10: so making his job easier is what they are trying

683
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 10: to do as a football team. So when you look

684
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 10: at the Raiders and doing so building around the quarterback position,

685
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 10: it's not necessarily drafting a quarterback at number six and

686
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 10: maybe getting an offensive tackle to add to what they

687
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 10: have at quarterback.

688
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 5: So when you talk about.

689
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 10: Travis or Tom Brady's involvement, we saw him speaking with

690
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford in a meeting of course Pete Carroll saying

691
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 10: he's going to go for it. It reminds me of twenty

692
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 10: ten when he first took over in Seattle. There very

693
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 10: much in a rebuilding process, but even in his first season,

694
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 10: they went seven to nine, but they still won the

695
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 10: NFC West Bs. They won a playoff game that year

696
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 10: as they were drafting that young core that would eventually

697
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 10: win a Super Bowl there in Seattle. So Picro has

698
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 10: that experience of kind of rebuilding on the fly but

699
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 10: also competing, which is his mantra every single day.

700
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: Tom Brady had absolutely no experience with rebuilding in his career.

701
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: They were always going forward in New England and then

702
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: in Tampa when he got there too, Omar, thank you

703
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: very much. When we return, Baldi's back and he's going

704
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: to be in the trenches. He'll share some offensive linemen

705
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: you'll want your team to draft. Nobody knows them better

706
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: than Baldy. Next on the Insiders.

707
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: Always some quirky stats to come out of the NFL Combine.

708
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: And how about this one from our friends in NFL research.

709
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: This was the tallest and fastest group of offensive linemen

710
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: ever at the combine. I get fastest, the tallest. How

711
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: on the whole are they gaining a quarter inch over

712
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: every other group of offensive linemen? Ever? Where are they

713
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: growing these very very tall men. Maybe Baldy's got some manches.

714
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: He rejoins us me, Tom Pelissera, and Mike Garafalo Here

715
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: on the Insiders, Baldy, first of all, do you have

716
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: an answer for how these guys are just so tall?

717
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: But also it was one of your favorite prospects that

718
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: you watch work out over the weekend in Indianapolis.

719
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: A lot of corn, Tom a lot of corn in

720
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 5: the Midwest.

721
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 8: They're just like eating a lot of that sweet corn,

722
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 8: and they're growing, like you know, cornstalks.

723
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 5: Let me give you one. Let me give you.

724
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 8: Gray's Able from North Dakota State right tackle in twenty

725
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 8: twenty three, left tackle last year. You turn on the

726
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 8: tape against Colorado first game of the season, he's just bawling.

727
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 8: But here at the Senior Bowl, I was down there

728
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 8: in the trenches. In fact, I'm probably gonna pop in

729
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 8: there pretty soon. The guy literally lined up in every

730
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 8: single offensive line position.

731
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 5: He couldn't get enough reps.

732
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 8: He really wanted to show everybody he could play center,

733
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 8: he could play guard, he could play tackle, and nobody

734
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 8: beat him like he was unbelievable to Senior Bowl. And

735
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 8: then he kind of reminds me. Guys, if you'll remember

736
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 8: two years ago when Cody Mark came out of North

737
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 8: Dakota State. He's been the starting right guard for Tampa

738
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 8: the last two years. I think they're very similar physically.

739
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 8: He's also one of those guys at six foot six

740
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 8: that's probably a half inch taller than you know, what

741
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 8: we've seen in the past, so he still might be

742
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 8: growing for all I know. But Gray's Abel is certainly

743
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 8: a guy that's going to get a lot of attention,

744
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 8: probably going to kick inside to center a guard at

745
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 8: the NFL's level.

746
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: Right now, all right, give me another guy here we

747
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: want to talk about here, armand Membo that I say

748
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 3: that correctly, Yes, you did, he said it correctly.

749
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 11: You know.

750
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 5: It's funny, Mike.

751
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 8: They make us wait to the very last day to

752
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 8: see the best group. Like it's it's just annoying. But

753
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 8: this November when he ran this, you know, this four

754
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 8: nine forty right here at three hundred and thirty two pounds.

755
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 8: The first thing I did today was go put on

756
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 8: a Missouri tape. So I put I'm on Missouri against

757
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 8: Texas A and M. They've got two stud edge rushers,

758
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 8: and you watch them play and I think this is

759
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 8: a guy that I don't know where he was ranked

760
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 8: before this combine, But after you watch his tape, Mike.

761
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 5: I'm telling you he's gonna climb.

762
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 8: And I don't know if he's going to get into

763
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 8: the top ten or if he's gonna be the first

764
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 8: offensive tackle taken, but they're gonna have that discussion about

765
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 8: him because he's got tremendous size, he's got great power,

766
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 8: and he really knows how to play, his feet are

767
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 8: underneath him, he knows how to use his hands. He's

768
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 8: gone up against some elite rushers in the SEC and

769
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 8: he's handled the guys.

770
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 5: There's nothing really not to like about him.

771
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 8: I guess you just have to decide is he going

772
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 8: to be your Pro Bowl guard or is he going

773
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 8: to be a Pro Bowl tackle?

774
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: But I think he's got that type of potential.

775
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: Can we see that forty yard dash for Arma Membu

776
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: one more time? Because you say he plays with his

777
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: feet underneath and Baldie, that's also the longest stride I've

778
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: ever seen for a man that big. Look how he's running.

779
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, Tom, there's only two ways to get faster.

780
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 8: You either increase the stride or you speed up the stride.

781
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 8: Those are the two things he did both in that

782
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 8: forty yard dash.

783
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: Nobody breaks it down like Baldy. Sir, Thank you very much.

784
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 2: Our body in Rapaport filling us in on who the

785
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: Titans are going to be visiting with. We are all

786
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: going to spend the next six weeks, frankly, trying to

787
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: figure out what these visits mean and what order who's

788
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: visiting with whom it'll all come out in the wash

789
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: at the end of April with the draft. But first

790
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: let's bring in our cam Wolf. He is going to

791
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: just we don't even need to wait for the draft.

792
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 2: At cam you spent some time around the Tennessee Titans

793
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: at the combine. Just kill all the suspense. What are

794
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 2: they going to do with the first overall pick?

795
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 11: Well, Judy, it was interesting to hear the Titans brass

796
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 11: talk about wanting a generational and a rare prospect. But

797
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 11: one of the meetings that really stood out to them

798
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 11: was Miami quarterback cam Ward.

799
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm told he an excellent meeting with them.

800
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 11: They were impressed with his mental makeup along with what

801
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 11: they already liked from his physical acumate, and he will

802
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 11: be one of the top options for them if they

803
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 11: do keep that top pick, and that is a big

804
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 11: if because they are expected to have some enticing offers

805
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 11: potentially for teams. Those conversations have already been started one team,

806
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 11: I'm told as the giants in those conversations. But the

807
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 11: Titans mindset right now is to gather more information, which

808
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 11: is why that list from een that just came out

809
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 11: is so key.

810
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: Meeting with a cam.

811
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 11: Ward on Friday and Abdual Carter on Thursday, a Travis

812
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 11: Hunter and a Shador Sanders in the week or two ahead.

813
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 11: The timing is very quick compared to what we usually

814
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 11: get in this cycle. The Titans would love to be

815
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 11: able to have a good information around the start of

816
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 11: the league meetings or the league year, which starts around

817
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 11: free agency.

818
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: A lot of times we've.

819
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 11: Seen a trade of a top pick happen around that time.

820
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 11: If it happens, But they're at an interesting dilemma because

821
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 11: they need a quarterback and they like the quarterbacks in

822
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 11: this draft, but they also value draft capital.

823
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: So what do they do.

824
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 11: Do they sit at one and take a cam Ward

825
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 11: or do they try to trade back and see if

826
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 11: at three possibly they could still get an Abdual Carter

827
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 11: or Travis Hunter. That's what makes the draft enticing for

828
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 11: the Titans. They also have a new stadium they're building

829
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 11: in twenty twenty seven that should be ready. That's somewhat

830
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 11: of a factor here. How much do you need a

831
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 11: quarterback to sell that new stadium? As you come about

832
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 11: this whole thing, and so I think the Titans at

833
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 11: the number one pick will spend a number of days

834
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 11: coming up figuring out how they rank these orders and

835
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 11: then they will listen to those offers and make a decision.

836
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 11: Are we staying at one or are we trading back

837
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 11: with another quarterback comvery team.

838
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, a few spots down the New England Patriots, they

839
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: already have their quarterback. They also have a new head

840
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: coach and Mike Brabell. What direction are they going to

841
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: go to this offseason?

842
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 11: And Judy, the buzz i heard in India around the

843
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 11: Patriots is a number one priority. It's surrounding Drake May

844
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 11: with more, more weapons, more protection, anything to help him

845
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 11: from a group that was among the bottom and a

846
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 11: fe on both of those categories. And so starting at weapons,

847
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 11: we had big news today with t Higgins getting the

848
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 11: franchise tag. I'm told he was going to be a

849
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 11: guy on their list if he reached a market. It

850
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 11: does not appear that it is going to be the case.

851
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 11: And so Chris Godwins the next one up on the list,

852
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 11: and I'm told they do have some level of interest

853
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 11: in him, although there was some buzz in Indy that

854
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 11: Tampa will find a way to make it work with him.

855
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 11: And so where does that lead the Patriots? Maybe they

856
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 11: get creative in trade talks. We already saw Deebo Samuel

857
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 11: trade it earlier last week.

858
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: Maybe there's other veteran.

859
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 11: That the Patriots try to attack to give Drake May

860
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 11: that number one receiver.

861
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: We'll see that in the coming days.

862
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 11: But outside of weapons, they definitely want to upgrade protection.

863
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: So whether it's using that number four overall.

864
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 11: Pick on one of the top tackles in the draft

865
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 11: of Will Campbell, Kelvin Banks, the kid out of the

866
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 11: Missouri as well among the top three tackles, or draft

867
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 11: or signing a guy like Ronnie Stanley in for agency.

868
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 11: But one thing I did here in Indy was defensive

869
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 11: tackle Milton Williams from the Eagles is a guy that

870
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 11: we can keep an eye on.

871
00:40:59,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Wing.

872
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 11: They have a lot of catspace. Twenty five years old,

873
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 11: coming over a Super Bowl title, a good fit for

874
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 11: their system. Maybe he's a guy on the defensive side

875
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 11: that Mike Vrabel and their staff.

876
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: Makes a huge splash on in a couple of weeks.

877
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: Cam thank you mister friand Bridget Condon last week at

878
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,080

879
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: more important. Congratulations to Bridget and her husband Landis on

880
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: the birth of their daughter, Ava Elizabeth. That's a couple

881
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: of really tiny feet right there. Pretty sure those are feet.

882
